Heckler ejected from candidates' meeting by Trina Berlo It was three against one Sunday night as federal candidates faced off at an allcandidates meeting in Wasaga Beach. Candidates running for election in Simcoe-Grey agreed to disagree with the Harper government’s policies on everything from omnibus bills and the disposal of nuclear waste to the removal of the Nottawasaga River from the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Syrian refugees. The crowd of about 200 people was somewhat hostile towards Conservative candidate Kellie Leitch at times starting when man was escorted from the auditorium at the beginning of the meeting for heckling Leitch during her opening remarks. Opposition candidates disagreed with Conservative policies on secrecy around the negotiation of the transpacific partnership and supply management because of its adverse effect on Canadian farmers, doing away with the long-form census and accused Conservatives of fear mongering through the creation of Bill C-51, anti-terrorism legislation. Candidates for the Green Party, NDP and Liberals said their parties would support the creation of a pharmacare, a national program that would provide universal access to necessary prescription medicine, while Leitch said Conservatives have increased transfer payments to the provinces, who are responsible for health care. They also made a point of saying they would be full-time candidates. When asked to state their top three priorities Green Party candidate JoAnne Fleming said, ensuring natural resources are protected, electoral reform through proportional representation and implementing a (See “Voters” on page 11)

Dinner raises $10,000 in memory of Paul Millsap An event held in memory of Paul Millsap has raised $10,000 for the creation of an advanced cardiac program at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. Marie Stephenson, Vern Pawlech and Paul and Karen Crevier put together a gourmet dinner for about 160 people who attended the Sept. 18 event. Stephenson said organizers were able to raise so much money thanks to those in attendance, those who donated even though they couldn't attend and the generous sponsors who donated the food. Fundraising dinners have been held in the past for the Creemore Curling Club but because the event was in memory of Millsap, who died of a heart (See “Funds” on page 12)

The cost of rescuing a hiker trapped in a cave in June has been tallied at $45,831.29, said Clearview Township Fire Chief Colin Shewell. The man was extricated from a deep crevice cave at Nottawasaga Bluffs near Singhampton June 21 after being trapped for about 22 hours. Shewell said the cost “is a result of highly qualified individuals from three fire departments that worked as a team to achieve a positive outcome. This expense is to be covered by Clearview fire operating budget of 2015 and the Township of Clearview.” The cost includes equipment, apparatus and the wages of firefighters from Barrie and Toronto who performed the 16-hour technical rescue. “This rescue had a very positive end for a Clearview Township resident and his family from Glen Huron, every technical rescue or emergency call for service is reviewed and is based on its own merit,” said Shewell. “Clearview Fire and Emergency Services is committed to high quality, timely and professional service.”

HALL OF FAME

“TOWNLINE FARM” Staff photo: Trina Berlo

Residents protest solar development in Clearview Township at town hall in Stayner Monday before a council meeting.

Solar support stands, despite protests by Trina Berlo Those protesting solar projects in Clearview Township took an opportunity to voice their concerns to council members Monday during a regularly scheduled public participation session. Several residents spoke in opposition to a proposal by BluEarth Renewables to install solar panels at the Edenvale Aerodrome property, owned by Milan Kroupa, and an adjacent parcel that would generate up to 29 megawatts of electricity. Council is also facing a protest of sorts from within. Councillor Kevin Elwood is critical of the way the proposal was handled by Clearview Township staff and council but he failed in his attempt to rescind a bylaw relating to the project Monday. Elwood tried to bring the issue back to the council table but there weren’t enough votes to pass a motion

to reconsider the issue. Only Thom Paterson voted with Elwood to reopen a debate about the Edenvale solar project and a community partnership deal, passed in August. Clearview Township is not the approval authority for large-scale renewable energy projects. That (See “Township” on page 12)

Opinion EDITORIAL

Fearing the unknown Solar power is business. It’s about making money, just like all other types of power generation. But it is also a way of making clean energy at a time when Canada’s energy consumption is on the rise. We should be having a conversation about conservation but instead Clearview Township residents are talking about obstructing solar projects through a growing anti-solar movement. Throughout the township a number of anti-solar signs have been posted and a group was protesting proposed solar projects at council Monday night. A small fraction of our energy comes from solar. We rely primarily on nuclear and hydro. Biofuel and solar represent less than one per cent of output. Solar is a topic of interest right now because the Independent Electricity System Operator is accepting proposals for large-scale renewable solar projects. Behind the companies and consultants pitching the plans are local people, landowners hoping to make money by selling electricity back to the province. People are usually supportive of commerce and want to foster an open-for-business culture in this municipality but there is a double standard when it comes to alternative energy. If a person thinks they can make more profit from solar panels than crops there is a bigger issue at hand. The controversy around solar and wind power, which pits neighbour against neighbour, is a diversion. A conversation about the state of farming and a lack of general understanding about planning is more apropos. This type of community uprising and public pressure on a municipal council is exactly why the province does not allow municipalities to be the decision makers on such projects. It is appalling however that a provincial body would, by design of its application process, require that solar companies go to council and compel them to help facilitate a public meeting. Council is then asked for support for the project so the solar project can get points for an evaluation. The municipality is dragged in to make a political endorsement of something it really has little control over. The worst part is it is all hypothetical because there are way more solar project proposals than there is allocated power generation so most of the proposals will be rejected. There’s a slim chance either of the Clearview solar farms will ever be developed. The process is the problem. It is confusing to residents who find themselves uninformed and frustrating to those who are very informed but are still kept at arm's length of the decision making process. That said, something needs to be done to address the growing need for energy. While a debate rages at Clearview’s council table, a theme in the federal election is about the safe disposal of waste from nuclear power. If we don’t want nuclear, wind and now solar, what will feed our insatiable appetite for energy? We have to put fears aside and explore alternatives.

Best to move assets and die elsewhere Editor: Ontario’s death taxes aren’t so bad at 1.5 per cent. It’s the onerous (since Jan. 1/15), ‘enhanced reporting obligation’ that requires the executor to file within 90 days. Likely an impossibility, considering the complexities of obtaining valid appraisals on every damn thing you own. The consequence of not filing on time is being liable for twice the amount deemed owing, along with a fine of $1,000 and possible two years in jail. The Ministry states that, “By supplying false or misleading information, you may be found guilty of an offence and or conviction”. Does this mean they impose their own unsupported evaluation without recourse? Under these conditions, I wouldn’t saddle anyone with the responsibility of executor. An asset, after all, is only worth what it sells for,

not the appraised value. If a house sells for $400,000 when it was appraised for $600,000, tax is paid on the appraised value. Real estate doesn’t always sell within 90 days. The government doesn’t mention an adjusted rebate. An appraiser can’t calculate the whims of buyers at an auction. Your personal effects, furniture, paintings, jewellery etc. are subject to the highest bid. Just to appraise every pot and pan you own would cost more than they could possibly be sold for. Etc., etc. Saddled with the government’s impossible requirements, for those I leave behind, I’m best to move my assets and die elsewhere. Ms. Wynne, I can only hope you don’t get me before the grim reaper does. John Wiggins, Collingwood.

The Creemore Echo • Friday October 2, 2015 •

Rescued fox makes full recovery, Tammy's story goes viral by Jennifer Johne It is 11 p.m. and I am standing with Monika Melichar in the nursery where the orphaned squirrels, chipmunks, and mice get their fifth and final feeding of the day at the Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS). The cheeky red squirrel babies run on the inside of the large birdcage as if it were a racetrack. The black squirrels wake up and crowd around the syringe of special animal formula that is brought in from the United States. Monika gently pokes their bellies through the cage, seeing who is not quite full, and we talk about the amazing recovery of Tammy the fox and her Internet stardom. A few weeks ago I had written about finding a fox by the side of the road and how she ended up at the WWS. Now I am here too, with a car and trailer full of donations collected by Creemore Echo reader Julie Roy and myself. And, of course, I am quietly hoping to see Tammy. “Tammy had an incredible will to live,” says Monika. “But you know, an animal will do everything possible to get back to normal. It keeps going. And it does not feel sorry for itself. Everything lined up with this rescue, which is critical with head trauma. The people who volunteered were instrumental in getting Tammy to where she is today. She is totally healed. Good as new.” Tammy as she is now, compared to how I found her, is really amazing. But even more amazing is how Monika’s video of Tammy, posted on Facebook, has gone viral. It has close to six million views and is spreading to other sites. Our little fox is blowing up big on the Internet. And something about that video has touched people’s hearts. I listened to a saved message on the sanctuary’s phone from New Orleans. The caller had been displaced by Hurricane Katrina and even though he

had little money, he was moved to reach out and help. “I have received donations from France, Spain, Russia and the Ukraine,” says Monika. Which is what they need to keep the WWS running. Established near Minden on a 45-acre property by Monika and her husband Whitebear, the Sanctuary is 100 per cent supported by donations and volunteers, although Monika envisions a time when there are proper structures in place to fund the rehabilitation and release of wildlife. The majority of the animals they help are there because of direct or indirect contact with humans. For example, twin fawns were found refusing to leave the dead body of their mother who had been killed by a vehicle; squirrels are found after being orphaned by a family pet. “Don’t we have some responsibility to help?” asks Monika. Which is another reason the video is touching: it restores our faith in the goodness of people. When I read the comments, thousands of them simply say, “Thank You” and I imagine the individually small actions of the 12 or so people involved in Tammy’s rehab adding an even bigger act to some kind of ‘collective good’ that people share in, and draw from. Of course, there is also the romantic subplot. There is a male fox, Todd, also at the Sanctuary right now. I joked about them “meeting in rehab”, and it might be closer to the truth than I thought. Tammy was born last year as she is full-grown, but has not had a litter yet. Todd was born this spring. Both will be looking for a lifelong mate, as foxes are monogamous. Tammy may have just found herself a younger man… For now, Tammy and Todd share a large enclosure. But they will be released together in the fall. Monika wants to make sure there is no longlasting neurological damage from Tammy’s accident. And foxes naturally

In the end I did get to see Tammy. The extra people made her run nervously around the enclosure, but that is a good sign. She is still wild. Who would have thought that this foxy lady nearly died twice; once from a car and again because I was sure I was going to have

to end her misery. Now she is ready for a long life and unknown to her, is causing joy and gratitude in hundreds of thousands of people all around the world.

Swath of good local players have signed on with Siskins by Alex Hargrave New coach, new players, new season. Stayner Siskins Georgian Mid Ontario Junior C Hockey League season is going to be very different from last season. Firstly, Steve Walker, the club’s head coach and former professional hockey player, accepted an assistant hockey coach position in the elite German Hockey League with Munich. Taking over his duties is Dave Rainford, an assistant coach with the club from last year. Rainford is very capable and will do a good job but all the same it’s tough to lose a coach of Walker’s pedigree. Secondly, nine players have finished their junior careers, playing at a higher level or moved away to attend school. The plus side is that a swath of good local players signed contracts and it’ll be fun to watch them mature and become better hockey players. Thirdly, the new season started Sept. 17 for the Siskins and despite losing the season opener 4-2 to the Schomberg Cougars rebounded with two consecutive wins over Huntsville, 5-2, and Caledon, 5-4 then tied the Cougars 1-1 in overtime Monday night. Last season, Stayner finished a league second, four points back of Alliston, with an enviable 28-6-3-3 record. Granted it’ll be a challenge to match that record but expectations are for them to advance further into the playoffs. Orillia Terriers shocked

them and everyone else in the league stunningly capturing the series four games to two. Mind you, the Terriers' goalie stood on his head, carried horseshoes, and kissed the goal post way too many times. Speaking with Siskins general manager Richard Gauthier he said that it’ll take five to 10 games for all the kids coming out of Midgets and minor hockey to adjust to junior level. Not only is the game quicker and players bigger and stronger, the rookies will be learning far more elaborate systems. Gauthier also mentioned that playing the first four games on the road before even stepping onto your home ice for a practice is always a challenge. The club will depend on over-agers Ricky Darrell, a sniper who finished second on the team in points last season with 31 goals and 26 assists, rock solid defenceman Ryan Hudson from Brewster’s Lake, and big centreman Ben Lougheed, 18 goals and nine assists. It also looks like Kyle Paulitzki can net the team goals. He has notched four already. Signing with the club as their only 16-year-old is Jordan Taylor. For Creemore historians, Taylor’s old man John scored the first goal in the Creemore Community Centre. A couple of other new names on the club that may be familiar to the area are Austin Hamilton and Isaac Swanton. Hamilton, who is one of the Hamilton’s from Glen Huron, scored his first junior

Interestingly, around the league, Darrin Shannon, a retired NHL leftwinger who suited up for the Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets, and Phoenix Coyotes for a number of seasons, replaces Clay Birkett as bench boss for the Alliston Hornets. Sandy McCarthy, who led the Hornets to a provincial championship before defecting to Caledon, has accepted a coaching position in the East Coast to coach Tier II Junior A hockey. The other interesting development is the slew of Collingwood players signing with the Penetang Kings. Four in total inked sheets while an additional two more come from Wasaga Beach. It’ll be interesting to see how well the Kings do this year. They followed the Kings assistant coach after he moved up the ranks from Collingwood minor hockey.

goal Sunday night in Caledon with Taylor assisting. Swanton wears the same number 22 that his father Rob wore when he was the Siskins' high scoring captain. Also playing on the club from Creemore or Stayner are Lucas Jeffery, Jackson Clarke, Trevor Franklin and Kyle Lafreniere. Clarke, Jeffery, and Hudson scored their lone goals this season in the Huntsville win. Although Gauthier isn’t a fortune teller, he believes the league will be very tight this year and that the powerplay, penalty kill and netminding will be the key to where each team finishes. Trevor Bloch returns between the pipes which gives the club experience for one of those key areas. Sean Caulfield will push Bloch for the number one job. The goalies have split the games thus far. The home opener was played last night against Alliston. Unfortunately, the result came in too late for press

Township gets conflicting legal opinions on solar deal (Continued from page 1) responsibility lies with the province. The Edenvale project was submitted to the provincial government’s Independent Electricity System Operator under the large renewable procurement request for proposals. Two solar companies asked Clearview council for support in order to strengthen their applications. Although council did not offer support for a solar farm proposed in New Lowell because the application was rushed and there was opposition from the public, they did vote in support of the Edenvale project. Council also signed an agreement that would see the township get $1,500 per megawatt if and when it is operational. At Monday’s meeting, Elwood spoke to the

highlights of a 300-page report he prepared, supported by a legal opinion. Elwood argues that the site is not appropriate for solar because the subject property is made up of prime agricultural land, although zoned rural in the township’s Official Plan, and part of it is wetland and woodland. He said the township did not properly consult with the public. Elwood also has concerns about the monetary benefit to the township and says the bylaw was passed in violation of the Municipal Act because it does not include all of the legal addresses and the agreement was not signed by all members of council.

Funds go to RVH cardiac care (Continued from page 1) attack in June at the age of 74, there was a bigger turnout. "Marie Stephenson's ability to organize a fundraiser is truly inspiring for those that have had the opportunity to lend her a hand," said Paul's nephew David Millsap. "Marie and Vern have been very generous with

their time in both organizing and hosting multiple fundraisers for the Creemore Curling Club over the years. The most recent one was extra special to me being the proceeds were going to RVH Advanced Cardiac Care in memory of Paul Millsap. My uncle Paul would be touched by the generosity of the community to raise this amount of money in his memory."

“The agreement was not everything we could have achieved,” he said, adding that other communities have received more from the same company and the township’s own planner recommended $2,000 per megawatt. “Why did we not negotiate a better deal for residents of Clearview?,” asked Elwood. Deputy Mayor Barry Burton said council had met with the township’s lawyers at an in-camera meeting that afternoon which he felt cleared up a lot of the issues. “It’s rural land, not agricultural,” said Burton. “I think this agreement was done in good faith.” The IESO contracts will be awarded in December.

in memoriam

Thompson – In loving memory of Alan James Thompson June 27, 1956 – October 3, 2014 The moment that you died My heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you. I often lie awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart And there you will remain, Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again. -Unknown All My Love Forever, Betty
